Eptopics And flutters

Well it's 6 years in dealing with these horrible things..PVCs PACs PSVT Fluttering..3 Cardiologist later and no real solution that works for me.I can say the one thing that has not worked is trying to EMBRACE them. I don't think I can ever get use to them or ignore them..no matter how I try.

I take 1/2 a 25mg at night. Due to my low heart rate can't take more. Some days no problems others like today..and even now..a nightmare. Now I find I have to have a cystoscopy due to bladder wall thickening..not sure I can handle it. If anyone can give me some hope I need it now.

Thanks all. 🙂

hi Autumn822

Our daughter has been experiencing hart flutters, & like your self has got no where with doctors etc,

She has started taking iron tablets on nurses instruction & says she feels a bit better & doesn’t appear to be getting the flutters.

The doctors are investigating her thioroid which apparently can trigger hart flutters , time will tell, she is only 19 & this problem has been happening for many months now..

Hope you can get some answered

Take care

Thank you! I hope your daughter gets some answers and gets along well. I am amazed at how many young adults and even teens are dealing with this.

Hi...Ime sorry to hear that you are having a rought time with eptopic beats....I surely feel your frustration.....but you are not alone...I have had eptopics for over 5 yrs but only at night time....but I mean litrally EVERY night for over 5years. despite having every test you can think of and spending several thousands on private second opinions...I am no closer to a solution. My last appointment was in September with a cardiologist who told me that I should put it down to "just one of those things". he said that they will not schedule anymore tests and that they will give me a routine call back in 2 years time. Thanks for nothing!!

So frustrating. And so many people all ages going through them, it has to be the world we live in.. environment, food processing etc. I have never seen so many heart problems as we are seeing today it truly is another Pandemic.
